English: nickname for a tall thin man, from Middle English, Old
French cane ‘cane’, ‘reed’ (Latin canna). It may also be
a topographic name for someone who lived in a damp area overgrown with
reeds, or a metonymic occupational name for someone who gathered
reeds, which were widely used in the Middle Ages as a floor covering,
as roofing material, and for weaving small baskets.Southern Italian: either a habitational name from a place named
Canè, in Bescia and Belluna, or more likely an occupational name
for a basket maker or the like, from Greek kanna ‘reed’ + the
occupational suffix -(e)as.French: Norman and
Picard variant of chane a term denoting a particular type of
elongated pitcher (ultimately from Latin canna ‘reed’), hence
possibly a metonymic occupational name for a potter who specialized in
making such jugs, or a nickname for someone who resembled
one.Possibly an Americanized spelling of German Köhn
